Perhaps it is related to the extended partition type that you chose or how you made that partition. You are using: Device Id System /dev/sdc1 f W95 Ext'd (LBA)
I usually use: Id System 5 Extended Why put linux partitions in a Microsoft Extended partition (Type "f" W95 Ext'd (LBA))? Maybe try recreating the partitions with cfdisk. Quote from man fdisk: For best results, you should always use an OS-specific partition table program. For example, you should make DOS partitions with the DOS FDISK program and Linux partitions with the Linux fdisk or Linux cfdisk program. Also take a look at the BUGS section of man fdisk. It sings the praises of cfdisk, especially when mixing partions OS types Chaim On Wednesday 04 April 2007 09:35, Shlomo Solomon wrote: > I'm having trouble adding a third SATA disk. > > I have 2 250 Gb SATA drives (/dev/sda and /dev/sdb). > I added a 160 Gb drive and both fdisk and the Mandriva control panel > correctly recognize it as /dev/sdc.
